Cali gets what Cali wants.
Morons.
Will do.
Why is it that every single nutty Leftist notion that comes down the pike gets its start in California?
It will pass.
I have a relative in CA who was talking about this today. I hope you all can beat it.
Another peeve I have is car registration. I can understand paying the taxes on the value of the car one time when you first register the car even though you probably paid taxes at the dealership already.
What really bugs me is the next time the registration is due you have to pay it all over again based on the slightly depreciated value of your still new car. Grrrr. Meanwhile John Doe next door who drives a 25 yo Chevy only pays the minimum (varies by state). The older car probably produces more pollution and probably uses more gas but gets a pass at the DMV.
A far more fair method would be for people to pay the taxes at the dealership when they buy or at the DMV if they bought it used from a private party. Then every year after that would be the same for everyone; say $25 a year plus whatever fees they always add on for this or that.
Cali’s money problem with the roads isn’t because they don’t get enough money in gas and vehicle taxes, they get plenty, it’s that the pols use that money for other projects instead of what it’s intended for.
Possible outcome:
1. Repeal of gas tax is passed, overwhelmingly.
2. Effective Jan 1 2019.
3. Democrats shop for a friendly judge.
4. Repeal on indefinite hold.
